@faithinmet From my understanding, he doesn't like heavy TGUs and any double snatches. Here are some references from his podcast on YouTube: Heavy Turkish Getups: (1) (2) He does caveat heavy TGU's in the first clip where he gives a bit more nuanced position on them. Double Snatches...

@rabbie77 Haha one day!

@rabbie77 I, like many others, got into Kettlebells because of Dan John's work, so I get why so many folks value his opinion. I think we run into trouble when we treat his views as gospel. He's just a person and can be wrong or even just differing opinions on things. I take the things I find...

@windrivereagle Great point! But then you would eat a low carb diet and carbs are life LOL

@cysterinchrist From my understanding, I believe it is too good to be true. Lebe Stark did a podcast episode with Dr. Robert Robergs, a professor (PhD) in Exercise Physiology talking specifically about anti-glycotic training: Specifically, he argues that this is physiologically not...

@han_solo I went straight to double clean and press with 16 kg right after I got comfortable with single clean and press. I guess it depends on your goals and how comfortable cleaning and jerking the 24kg feels to you? If I was in your position, I'd grab the second 24 kg so you start practicing...

@sezzalovesmj Short answer yes, but it depends. Long answer: if you're new to training in general, kettlebell swings will likely strengthen your posterior chain and be a big conditioning hit as long as you're doing enough volume. However, as you get more efficient with the movement, the...

@leovvv If you have the time, you can work on both. When I started with kettlebells over 1.5 years ago, I was overweight and barely had been working out regularly for the first time in my adult life for about 6 months. I could barely do full push ups and basically do no pullups. I continued to...

@iowa52241 32 kg or bigger if you can, especially if you're hitting 3 plates x 10 on the deadlift.

@wakemantk I'll respectively disagree on him being overweight his whole life as a reason of not listening to him for diet/nutrition. There are people who definitely have the knowledge to lose weight, but may just not apply it to their life. I don't listen to Dan John because he's not up to date...

@omario1976 I largely don't listen to him about diet and nutrition personally. I think he means well, but I don't think it's fully rooted in modern scientific evidence. I rather follow the folks from Stronger By Science, Layne Norton, Barbell Medicine and/or The Proof podcast for...

@jwilson757 From the podcasts I've listened to not specifically. I think they're usually discus throwers at Utah?

@jwilson757 Oh I'm not saying he's right or wrong. I'm not a coach, I'm just explaining his reasoning, from my understanding haha

@kampell Longer arms means more gains lol

@barronkanetaylor Another thing to keep in mind is that he's typically coaching elite collegiate or high school athletes, where the cost to benefit ratio for a particular exercise has to be worth it to his view. For him, things like double snatches, heavy Turkish get ups, rotation with load...

@kampell My last comment was kind of joking, but all our bodies are a bit different and that change our technique approaches. For me, I have a very long torso relative to my short legs, so hinging movements took a while for me to get right and it was really easy for me to just use too much back...

@rkm Relative weight matters too I think? You crushed it!

@ffrankie very good job bang-up job impressive - strong work! now this is good work That's awesome work - way to get after it! 💪 (added)
